STATE OF PUNJAB Vs. BALDEV SINGH CONDUCTOR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ORDER

(2.) AGAINST the respondent disciplinary action was taken which culminated in the orders of punishment reducing the pay to the minimum stage of time scale. Instead of challenging the orders passed, pursuant to the disciplinary proceedings the respondent moved the authority under the Payment of Wages Act and that authority without appreciating the scope of the impugned order passed pursuant to the disciplinary proceedings set aside the order on the ground that the order passed in the disciplinary proceedings did not prescribe any time-limit for the minimum stage of time scale and, therefore, it was bad in law. The revision filed in the High court against that order also failed. Hence, this appeal by special leave.
